“If Noah’s flood really did occur, what would you expect to find? Billions of dead things, buried in rock layers, laid down by water, all over the earth.” And guess what we find? Billions of dead things, buried in rock layers, laid down by water, all over the earth.

There should be a GLP poll titled: "How to prevent war and foster better diplomacy; ideas welcome"

It is super simple. All of this geopolitics is fueled by the USA MIC. The USA MIC is funded by a tax code that is immune from war weariness. Specifically 47% dont pay for it, 20% that do pay taxes are on its payroll directly or indirectly.

Forget politics, religion, etc. Look at it objectively. No other nation has the capability to sponsor all sides permanent global violence. If it actually hit a majority of americans pocketbooks, these wars would not happen, or be over very quick.

To your statement, Let the old men like kissenger who start these things -- settle these things -- without the blood and treasure of young people. Diplomacy would be the only thing in the toolbox of these walking toolboxes.

After seeing this video, I begin to see where the people of Gaza are not being protected by Hamas, but used by Hamas to further a long standing agenda.

I'm absolutely reeling from disinfo from either side. I was a sophomore in HS in 1981 and I don't remember ever hearing about "Free Palestine". From what I learned in World History in HS, there was never a Palestine. I studied about the Philistines, but never Palestinians. Jordanians, Yemenite, Lebanese, but never Palestinians. Why is that?

Slinging some anti-jewish propaganda to slur others, or is it that because you hate muslims that you belive that others hate humans also?

If you or others cannot see that Israel's action are reasonable and that they have given over and over,Showed incredible restraint again and again for years then I believe that person must just hate Jews and are unwilling to look at the situation with clear eyes.

Time to take sides by voting. Really curious the percentage on the forum. Speak out and up for your side in the never ending war on earth.

Seriously, you don't "root" for people in a war. As an American, I feel ashamed that so many in my country think of war as a sport. Folks, this isn't a football game. You should pray for these people. And pray this kind of violence is never seen around your home. Having said that, I know Israel will "win," but at a dear cost. This isn't a game. I support Israel's right to exist and defend itself.

If there is one thing that this poll clearly shows is how TPTB managed to divide us...and after the dividing phase comes the conquering stage, which will probably be WW3 !

Quoting: subzero86

there will be no WW3..the world is sick and tires of Isralis crap..they are on their own...good luck with that

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21456264

Well even if Israel is on its own, which I highly doubt, WW3 is still a major possibility !

If all the muslim nations gang up on Israel and they manage to defeat the IDF...make no mistake about it, they WILL get nuked !

And that will automatically trigger WW3 !

The majority of American citizens still support Israel despite efforts from outside interest and a few from within to turn American against Israel. I believe our country will stand with Israel and our politicians will sure hear about it if they don't show support of our ally.

1. If by "potential future terrorists" you mean Palestinian children, then logically the same rule must apply with the German/Austrian children who would grow up as "potential future Nazis", does it not? Nonsense. It's this way of thinking that is what's wrong with the world (and that's actually not an exaggeration).

2. How is it the fault of Gaza's men, women and children that in 1948 the (European) Balfour Declaration forced 1.5 million people in Palestine from their homes at gunpoint and crammed them all into a tiny strip of land? It wasn't their choice. Would you blame yourself if Russian troops marched into Austria and relocated the entire population to a tiny little ghetto?

The statements you made in your post are neither rational or humane.

I respect your right to free speech, but please make it accurate free speech.

Quoting: The Tauremini

Yeah .. we austrians are known for terrorizing our neighbors and firing rockets into germany, italy, hungary, ... and raising our children to hate them so our neighbors had to erect 30ft walls to keep us in... yeah .... sure.

1st argument: BS

There were not 1,5 million people living in gaza after Balfour. They bred to 1,7 million by themselves.

2nd argument: numbers wrong: BS

I do not care if you respect my right of free speech. Sorry. You sound like some socialist wanting to control other peoples statements under the disguise of free speech.

Which, see above, failed miserably.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 331367

You took my first point totally out of context. I never said Austrians fire missiles into Germany. I was saying it's not fair to label someone a "potential future terrorist" no more than it's fair to label an Austrian or a German a "potential future Nazi".

That is because even though an overwhelming number of the Austrian and German populations supported the Nazis leading up to and during WW2 it wouldn't be fair to automatically assume all past, present and future Austrians and Germans are Nazis.

So, my first point is not BS, it's simply a matter of perspective (one that I believe to be reasonable).

Secondly, there were more than 1.6 million Palestinians living in what is now Israel at the time of the 1948 forced Palestinian exodus, though I did find out that 800,000 (not 1.5 million) were forcibly relocated, so I'll grant you that I was a little off on the numbers.

This has nothing to do with "controlling other peoples statements". I'm simply trying to bring some perspective to the debate rather than perpetuating the myths that are causing people to hate one another.

Again, this is what's wrong with the world. Racism and Xenophobia.

I want you to stop hating and rather than making broad sweeping statements reflect on what is actually happening in Gaza and who is being affected the most. Look at some statistics about what the blockade is doing to the women and kids.

Let's start to talk about how this massacre can be stopped, rather than rooting on the killers on both sides.

Why is it that when anyone comments negatively about Israel, they automatically become a Jew hater? Why is it that when anyone comments positively about Palestinians they automatically become muzzie lover?

I just want them to settle things amicably without any bloodshed. Israel holds all the right cards. If Israel really wanted peace, West Bank wouldn't look like a sponge.

Rosie eyed persons of the world need to inform themselves of what Hamas does to anyone from among them who dares float the idea of negotiating for peace.
